Square Enix is making a clear effort to cater for gamers using Apple hardware. Final Fantasy I & II have already made an appearance on the App Store, and now an original, iPhone/iPod touch exclusive game has been revealed on the Square Enix Facebook page.

Entitled Chaos Rings, you can see the first trailer for the game above.

Bringing back memories of the look of some of the early JPRGs seen on the PS2, Chaos Rings has been developed for Square Enix by Media Visions. 1UP has a great summary of the gameplay:

Chaos Rings is set around a battle tournament, Arca Areina, where five two-person teams must fight each other to the death. You control each team in their own separate storyline, all of which tie together at the end. None of the people involved know why they’re here or what they’re fighting for — all they know is that a shadowy “spokesman” has summoned them, and that if they win, their prize will be eternal life.

A release date is currently unknown, but the Facebook entry by producer Takehiro Ando states:

The game is almost fully developed and we are doing a last adjustment right now. I’m sure I can deliver it to your device soon.

Could this be the first real example of a “system seller” game for Apple?
